CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. IF I WERE KING. “If I were King,” the William Fox special screen producion based on Justin Huntly McCartlxy's famous play in which E. H. Sothern made a tremendous “hit,” and featuring William Farnum, is to be screened this evening. There is something about. Justin Huntly McCarthy’s story of “If I were King” that forever lingers in the -^memory —not only because the play was a success, perhaps, but also because the book was so widelyT’ead ; in fact, still is being read. The character of Francois Villon, enacted on the stage by Mr Sothern, seems peculiarly fitted for William Famum, and the Fox star is said to portray it with all the artistry that years of stage experiences has given him. Wiliam Farnum has done some splendid work for the screen. His pictures are always worth seeing ; but when he appears in a story like “If I were King” he stands out above all, other film stars.
